Essential Psychopathology & Its Treatment (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A comprehensive revision to the textbook on modern psychiatric diagnosis and treatment, keyed to the DSM5TR and ICD11.

Psychiatry stands at a crossroads, balancing heightened societal expectations with pointed criticism. Meeting these challenges requires more than diagnosisit demands a broader approach. Any clinician who assesses a patient solely through DSM or ICD criteria misunderstands the process. Good care begins with accurate diagnosis but extends to the patient's context: family, upbringing, genetics, physical health, stressors, and psychodynamics. Long considered a leading text on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of psychiatric disorders, this book rejects the caricature of modern psychiatry, offering instead a dedicated, humanistic, and commonsense approach.

This latest revision includes cuttingedge updates in psychopharmacology, computational neuroscience, and functional neuroimaging. Geared to graduate students in psychiatry, psychology, counseling and related disciplines, it makes practical, readable sense of psychopathology.
